🚀 [Feature] Image cropping is optional

[mattwr18]

🚀 Feature

The image cropping solution is great for some, but could be annoying for others

Design & Layout

maybe someone can add?
my idea was to have a normal preview of what the image would look like, with a button to crop an image, if one so chooses

Additional context

we have an additional issue that could be solved in another way that the cropped images are very big in comparison with ones that are not.

see #1933

@mattwr18 Hi Matt. I agree with your suggestion. Cropping is the exceptional use case while not cropping is the standard one. Currently, we force all users to perform these steps after uploading an image:

1. Increase image to 100%: Drag and drop at least two handles of the frame.
2. Clicking the Confirm button.

Issues:

• Some users forget to click the Confirm button and wonder why their uploaded image disappeared after saving the post.
• The Confirm button is located on top instead of at the bottom. On smaller screens the button is out of sight after manipulating the frame. So it's prone to be forgotten.

The standard procedure should be like in Alpha where the default size was 100% and saving the post also saved the featured image.
Cropping (including clicking on the Confirm button) should be an option.

@DennisHack agrees with the idea of first put the post image in the post and then have a button for cropping. (Nov. 18, 2019)
